Ibrahim, it's expected that you use LATEX in this forum
And draw a diagram and you should have the explanation for why your answer is incorrect

Re: functional equation
I guess the following proof should hold. Lets consider the Mclaurin series expansion $f(x) = g_0 (x) + g_1 (x) + g_2 (x) + ... $ where $g_k (x) = a_k x^k$ Now, the left side of the equation (as written in earlier reply) demands that for all values of $k$ the following relation holds: \[\frac {g_k(x)...

Re: functional equation
Rewriting the equation as \[ f'(x) = \frac {f(x) - f \left (\frac {x} {2} \right)} {\frac {x} {2}} \] This means that the straight line passing through $\left ( x, \frac {x} {2} \right )$ is the same as the slope of the function at $x$. This intuitively reveals that $f(x)$ is linear. For any pair of...

A Dirty Problem
I came up with this problem myself. But I consider it to be a dirty one. Consider a function $f(x)$ to be defined from a subset $D$ of real numbers to the set of real numbers. $f(x)$ follows the following relation: \[f(x) = \frac {\lceil f(x) \rceil + \lceil x \rceil} {\lfloor f(x) \rfloor + \lfloor...

Re: Number Theory Problem
Quite late a reply, but a reply indeed. Prodip, you need to show how you obtained the solution. And also, you need to find the complete solution and must prove that there are none beyond what you show. In this case, the solutions are $162, 243, 324, 405, 605$ Lets rearrange the given equation as $10...

Re: Differentiation
The first question that tickles my mind: Can you actually define $x^2$ as a sum of $x$ number of $x$'s??? However, if yo keep insisting on relying on that definition, take it this way- The derivative of a function $f(x)$ approaches $\frac {f(x+h) - f(x)} {h}$ as $h \rightarrow 0$. When $f(x) = x^2$,...

Re: a problem
Nice Problem. Giving a hint only-
Try with prime power factorization of $x$ and $y$. That'll lead you to some handy equations

One can't answer that unless the probability distribution function is known.

average number of square sum representation
Consider $f(n)$ to be the number of representations $n=x^2 + y^2$ for integral $x$ and $y$. Find the average number of such representations for a natural number, i.e.
\[\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac {f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n)} {n}\]
\[\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac {f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n)} {n}\]
